Solution | The Printhead height setting affects printing quality. Specifying a low Printhead height makes images clearer and enhances printing quality but may cause paper to rub against the Printhead. On the other hand, specifying a high Printhead height will prevent paper from rubbing against the Printhead but may reduce the printing quality. IMPORTANT - Paper rubbing against or becoming caught on the Printhead may jam or result in printed documents that are soiled.
NOTE - Raise or lower the printhead, depending on the nature of the problem.
1. On the Tab Selection screen of the Control Panel, press ![](/library/attachments/CanonUSA/TroubleshootingContents/Images/Global/G0176603.gif) or ![](/library/attachments/CanonUSA/TroubleshootingContents/Images/Global/G0176604.gif) to select the Paper tab ( ![](/library/attachments/CanonUSA/TroubleshootingContents/Images/Global/G0176605.gif) ).
NOTE - If the Tab Selection screen is not displayed, press the Menu button.
2. Press the OK button. The Paper Menu is displayed. 3. Press ![](/library/attachments/CanonUSA/TroubleshootingContents/Images/Global/G0176607.gif) or ![](/library/attachments/CanonUSA/TroubleshootingContents/Images/Global/G0176608.gif) to select Paper Details, and then press the OK button. 4. Press ![](/library/attachments/CanonUSA/TroubleshootingContents/Images/Global/G0176609.gif) or ![](/library/attachments/CanonUSA/TroubleshootingContents/Images/Global/G0176610.gif) to select the type of paper, and then press the OK button. NOTE - When Head Height is set to Automatic, the setting value selected for the previous print job is displayed (to the right of Automatic ) once you select the type of paper currently supplied.
However, the value is cleared when the printer is turned off or the paper is replaced.
5. Press ![](/library/attachments/CanonUSA/TroubleshootingContents/Images/Global/G0176613.gif) or ![](/library/attachments/CanonUSA/TroubleshootingContents/Images/Global/G0176614.gif) to select Head Height, and then press the OK button. 6.

NOTE - Using Automatic will ensure that the printer adjusts the Printhead height to the optimal level before printing, accounting for the ambient temperature and humidity. When a setting other than Automatic is used, that value will always be applied.
- Depending on the type of paper, some setting values may not be available.
